Madonna and Child
polychromed wood 97.0 cm
Jacopo Moranzone was a member of an important Venetian family of painters and wood carvers. The enthroned Madonna presented here has a richly draped robe and bright polychromy. Her hands are held in a gesture of prayer, while the young Jesus – here depicted in a relatively uncommon position with crossed hands – sleeps in her lap. The statue was most likely part of a larger polyptych. (expert opinion: Alessandro Delpriori, PhD, Università di Firenze)
